I have been looking for a fishing belt rod holder for surf and offshore fishing and I went with the Tocscho Waist Fishing Belt Rod Holder.
So, for those who are wondering what these waist fishing belt rod holders are all about, so let’s say you are out surf fishing or offshore fishing and you caught a huge fish and it’s going to take some time to reel. Well, many commercial fish boat ships have a green machine or bandith/deep-drop reels to haul in huge catches.
But if you are on the shore or offshore and it’s just you and your reel and rod, if you catch a heavy fish or shark, you are going to have a fight on your hands. You will get tired and for guys, with a big rod, we tend to put that rod between our legs. Granted, with such a powerful fish, maybe putting that fishing rod between your legs is not the best thing to do, so this is where the waist fishing belt rod holder is used for. Instead of putting the rod between your legs, you put the butt of the rod onto the rod holder.
Some purchase fishing rod butt cap ends with a gimbal to put at the end of their rod, so it can connect to the rod piece of the fishing belt rod holder.
But for those using a trolling reel with a heavy rod and you have released hundreds of yards of line, the waist fishing belt rod holder really helps out if you are tiring out, you can rest that rod butt to this rod holder and since the slot is not obstructed, you have a 360 degree rotary slot.
Now what about the Tocscho Waist Fishing Belt Rod Holder worth checking out? You have an aluminum alloy material on the front and soft EVA foam lining on the back. This has seawater corrosion resistance. The waistband belt is adjustable and lightweight.
And at under $31 it’s affordable. But most importantly is the butt bar is at the bottom and not on the middle.
There are a lot of waist fishing belt rod holders on the market but I prefer one with the gimbal bar at the bottom and so, the Tocscho Waist Fishing Belt Rod Holder worked for me and I recommend it!
